    NAME              stat - get file status

    SYNOPSIS          stat name

    DESCRIPTION       stat gives several kinds of  information  about
    one file:
                      files:

                         access mode
                         number of links
                         owner
                         size in words
                         name

                      All  information is self-explanatory except the
    mode. The
                      mode is a five-character string  whose  charac-
    ters mean the
                      following:

                         1    s:  file  is  small  (smaller than 4096
    words)
                             l: file is large
                             d:    file is a directory

                         2   r: owner can read
                             -: owner cannot read

                         3   w: owner can write
                             -: owner cannot write

                         4   r: non-owner can read
                             -: non-owner cannot read

                         5   w: non-owner can write
                             -: non-owner cannot write

                      All numeric values are printed in octal
                      if he cannot be found in "/etc/uids"  a  number
    is given.

    FILES

    SEE  ALSO           ls with the -l option gives the same informa-
    tion as stat,                   except that it also shows the  i-
    node number for each file.

    DIAGNOSTICS        "name   ?" for any error. "nofiles" if no file
    name is given.
